Tablet price-performance ratio 2024: Which devices are really worthwhile – especially for rental?

In an increasingly digital business world, mobile devices such as tablets have become indispensable. They provide support during presentations, in the field, at events and trade fairs or within internal communications. The question often arises: Which tablet offers the best price-performance ratio? Especially for companies that want to remain flexible, tablet tablet rental can be an attractive option instead of buying.

In this article, we analyze current models with the best balance between performance and cost. We also shed light on which criteria will be important for making an informed decision in 2024 – especially when it comes to B2B use and rental.

What does good value for money mean for tablets in 2024?

An optimal price-performance ratio does not necessarily mean “cheap”. Rather, it is about maximum functionality, durability and user-friendliness at a reasonable price. Depending on the area of use, different criteria are important. While a field worker may need a robust outdoor tablet, cheaper models with good displays and stable Wi-Fi are usually sufficient for event use.

Important criteria for evaluating the price-performance ratio:

  • Processor performance (benchmark values, everyday performance)
  • Battery life under real conditions
  • Display quality (brightness, resolution, touch response)
  • Software support & updates
  • Accessory compatibility (keyboards, stylus, cases)
  • Durability & repairability
  • User support from the manufacturer

Renting instead of buying – when is it worthwhile for companies?

Especially in the B2B sector, tablet rental solutions can make more economic sense than purchasing decisions. Why? The acquisition costs for modern tablets are often high – and technological progress means that they lose value quickly. In addition, companies often only need a large number of devices temporarily, for example for training courses, trade fair appearances or pilot projects.

The advantages of the rental solution:

  • No capital commitment – liquidity is maintained
  • Predictable costs thanks to transparent rental prices
  • Always the latest technology – no outdated devices
  • Including accessories, configuration service & support
  • Flexible terms – from days to months

Application examples & suitable tablets for rental

  • Trade fairs & events: Samsung Galaxy Tab S series such as the Galaxy Tab S9 – powerful, weatherproof, with stylus support.
  • Field service & sales: Apple tablets such as the compact iPad mini 6 – ideal for mobile working and iOS-based apps.
  • Productivity & Office applications: Microsoft Surface models like the Surface Go 3 – perfect for Windows applications on the go.
